    Most exciting boxer to watch in Britain?

    Reactionary post I know, but when is this guy ever in a boring fight?

    I always pick against him but he proves me wrong. I think he is improving, he is developing a nice jab and his footwork is very good. Could he beat Burns or Mitchill?

    I think he would give Burns a good fight and could potentially beat him. He really impressed me tonight, stuck to a game plan and boxed really well in general. This could be Crolla's next move and the winner of Burns v Crolla get's a world title shot.

    Very good fighter although I don't think his style would work well against Mitchell, Burns-Crolla is 50/50 though I reckon.

    Cracking fight and Crolla boxed well but I still think Burns would beat him IMO.

    The only thing with Crolla is that he lacks power. I know Murray always comes forward but Crolla couldn't hurt him til Murray punched himself out and ran out of steam

    I agree, shame that a fighter can be effective with only power! Perhaps Crolla can refine his technique further and add 10-20% more snap to the end of those punches. To be sure, there are many top fighters worldwide at Lightweight with better chin, nous and stamina than Murray and Crolla will need more power to stop them and claim a strap.

    Well put!

    Fan friendly personality and style, gives his all and deserves all he has.

    How good would a Ricky Burns fight be!

    Been really impressed with Crolla recently. Eddie seems keen for Crolla or Burns to fight Abril, I think they see him as the weakest world champion. Not sure if Eddie will make Crolla v Burns when both could be looking at a title shot.

    Does anyone know what the scorecards were before the stoppage? Crolla said two of the judges had him losing?
